View image | gettyimages.com Preston Tucker was #1 on the list on May 1, and has since been called up to join the Houston Astros. He is 4 for 14 in 5 games with 3 RBI, 2 doubles and a run scored. Now his teammate Jonathon Singleton top the chart, jumping up from #24. He hit .371 with 7 home runs over this last 10 games! Anyone from your favorite MLB team on this list...

So you’re a Houston Astros fan trying to enjoy opening day. The excitement level is a little higher than normal compared to past home openers, as the team was destined for the basement of either the National League or American League division they were placed in.
But with names like Jose Altuve, George Springer, Chris Carter, Evan Gattis, Jonathan Singleton, Dallas Keuchel and...

As you might have noticed, given your presence on this website at this particular moment in time, Fire Brand has made its way over to a new network, Bloguin, and has a nice, snazzy new design. Unfortunately, the new site does not yet allow me to post polls, so those of you who might be fans of my semi-regular polls will have to face some disappointment this week.
Instead, I’m going...

#494334155 / gettyimages.com The Phillies (50-63) and Astros (47-66) began their series last night as the Phils faithful, or what is remaining of it, got to see Jonathan Singleton in action for the first time. The once prized Phillies farmhand has been playing full-time for the Astros and has shown...

After two days of dramatic come-from-behind wins, the Halos finally decided to take it easy on us and won this game relatively handy. It wasn’t a cakewalk or anything, but the outcome seemed pretty well secure early in the game and required no special offensive explosions. It may not have been as fun, but fun is overrated.

Kole Calhoun had the big game,...

George Springer continues to be the power hitter the Houston Astros were waiting to see, but his average sits at just .245. Gregory Polanco is hitting .288, but just 3 XBH for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Oscar Taveras was called up by the St. Louis Cardinals for the 2nd time, and Jon Singleton is hitting under .200. Those are your top prospects who have made it to the Big Leagues...

The Diamondbacks start a four-game interleague matchup against the Houston Astros tonight. The D-backs come in winning eight out of their last 11 series, and the Astros have experienced a resurgence of late behind a pair of recently promoted rookies, outfielder George Springer and first baseman Jonathan Singleton.
Hereâs what to look for on tonightâs telecast on FOX Sports...

There have been numerous reports around the Internet claiming that the Phillies accidentally traded a prospect in the 2011 Hunter Pence deal.
Domingo Santana
In exchange for Pence, the Houston Astros received Jonathan Singleton, Jarred Cosart, Josh Zeid, and a player to be named later, who turned out to be Domingo Santana. Singleton made his Major League debut last week after being...

The Jonathan Singleton story is really two-fold. He already has made his major league debut and has already hit his first big league home run. On a site like this, the story is Singleton the player. First base is a crowded position, so immediately we have to wonder where he fits on the pantheon of first baseman in the game. MLBpipeline.com had Singleton...

Jon Singleton is a prospect. He may have his first Major League home run and is on a 25-man roster, but he is still a prospect in the sense that he is not a fully known entity. And because he is not, both the Astros and Singleton himself have concerns over whether he will be successful in the Majors. It is perfectly rational then that when Singleton was offered a five year, $10...

The Astros are set for takeoff. Alright, maybe not, but two members of their club are highlighted in today’s article due to being under owned. Interestingly enough, each of the other four players featured as Free Agent Fixes this week were considered top prospects at one time. That’s not to say all are young, in fact each member of the quartet is at a different point in their...

Former Phillies prospect Jonathan Singleton/1B made his MLB debut yesterday for the Houston Astros and collected The Howard as well. 2 errors, 2 strike outs, and 1 homerun. Way to go kid!Singleton was sent to Houston in a 4 player package for Hunter Pence. Jarred Cosart was the first of the four to reach the Majors, and he's now made 24 starts since mid-2013 with a 3.07 ERA...

The Houston Astros rookie parade continued as Jon Singleton homered in his first MLB game for the Astros. The recently promoted Singleton has had a memorable week inking a long-term deal, making his debut and then dialing long distance.

Just a day after agreeing to a 5-year, $10 million dollar deal with the Astros, top prospect Jon Singleton, who was called up to the bigs on Tuesday, went yard on his first at-bat in the majors against the Angels. It’s no wonder why scouts are raving about the power from Singleton, a 22-year-old first baseman, […]

The Los Angeles Angels (30-26) will square off with the Houston Astros (24-34) for a three game set in Houston beginning Tuesday night at 5:10 pm Pacific Standard Time. For the Angels, it is the return of Josh Hamilton that is the most encouraging sign for the team as they prepare for three games against an AL Western division opponent. The Angels (10-15 divisional record) will...

The Angels need to wash the stank of that Oakland series off themselves and what better team to do that against than the Houston Astros. This is the perfect series for them to get back to their winning ways. Not only are they facing an inferior opponent, but they have a full roster for the first time in a long time. Trout should be healthy enough to play and Hamilton will be activated...

Jonathan Singleton has been called up and will make his major league debut on Tuesday. Along with the promotion comes a new $10 million dollar contract that could grow to $35 million. Given Astros first basemen are last in the majors with a .181 batting average and a .561 OPS, Singleton is going to play every day for the rest of the year. So what’s his fantasy value for the rest...

The Astros like Jon Singleton enough to sign him to a record deal consisting of five-years with three club options, with $10 million in guaranteed money, and worth $35 million if all options are exercised and incentives reached. He’s set to make his debut Tuesday vs. the Angels, and with his brand new contract, will be given every possibility to succeed. If he can finally stay...

The Houston Astros have added baseball's top 1B prospect, Jon Singleton, to their MLB roster. Singleton ranked 4th in our Top AAA Hitters rankings through May, and joins fellow superstar prospect George Springer in Houston. The Astros have also signed Singleton to a 5 year deal, the 1st time in Major League history that a player got a contract extension before playing a single...

Twitter is one of the simplest and most effective ways for young athletes to get themselves into trouble. Houston Astros prospect Jonathan Singleton may be in the process of figuring that out, and it is only a matter of time before the team tells him to cut the crap (if they haven’t already). Over the […]

The Houston Astros have the best farm system in baseball, which makes sense given the team’s draft position in recent years. Over half of the players on the list are former 1st round draft picks. Correa, Springer, and Appel profile as All-Stars. The rest of the players on this list have high ceilings and could become good to great Major League players. DeShields and Singleton have...
